Users can now send photos and GIFs easier and faster
Great news of Yahoo Mail users, as developers announced a major update is now available for their Android and iOS applications, which promise many new features and improvements.
This is the second important update for Yahoo’s email service in the last couple of months, so if you’re using the application on Android or iOS, it’s important to upgrade to the latest version.
The most important new feature included in the update is the addition of Google Drive and Dropbox support, which means Yahoo Mail users will now have access to files from these two cloud services.
Furthermore, the update brings support for GIFs from Tumblr, so Yahoo Mail users can send pictures, presentations or other visual content faster and easier.
“Now that you can manage multiple mailboxes from the Yahoo Mail app, we want to empower you to send compelling and creative emails from any of your email addresses. Thanks to new access to files from Google Drive and Dropbox, as well as GIFs from Tumblr, you can quickly send your spring break photos, that important presentation, or that GIF that so perfectly describes your excitement,” said Josh Jacobson, director, Product Management, Yahoo Inc.
New features for iOS users include preview attachments, Android users get widgets
Yahoo also confirmed that iOS users can now preview an attachment without downloading it first to their mobile phone or tablet.
Also, if you’re using the Android application, you will be able to delete a draft permanently if you cancel an email that you start composing.
Last but not least, developers announced that they have added Android home screen widgets. There are three home screen widgets, which should provide updated information about user’s inbox. They will also include a preview of the inbox, a badged icon, as well as a shortcut to the compose screen.
According to Yahoo, the latest updated to the Yahoo Mail app for iOS (4.3) and Android (5.4) should be available for download beginning today.
